Today was Sr. Susan Miriam's first day in the Chicago community, and boy were we glad to welcome her! We have been ultra-short handed since Christmas, and still are (technically) too few to be a community (according to the Rule), so her arrival was a festive event, even if the poor soul was trading in 5 years in Southern California for Chicago's "spring" weather (snow flurries!). I have an extra reason to celebrate: Sr. Susan and I made our novitiate together (some decades in the past), but we have never been stationed together, except for the times when "all the novices" or "all the juniors" were transferred together. It is like a 30-year reunion of sorts...
Please welcome Sr. Susan to this new mission territory (I don't believe she's even been stationed in the Midwest before!), and pray for all the souls she will be serving. We go to Milwaukee together at the end of the week for a book display for Catholic educators; hope it will be a wonderful event for all involved.

From NJ, here's a hearty "Welcome to Chicago" to Sister Susan. What a great blessing for co-novices to be assigned together especially after years of religious life! Enjoy the graces and blessings! (and fun times, too!).
